One of the most prominent features of the Crypsis
puzzle box by Kel Snake is the lovely monarch butterfly which adorns the
top. It speaks to the name of the box,
“Crypsis”, which refers to the natural ability of some organisms to avoid
detection, such as the way certain butterflies can blend into their
environment. It also refers to a key
element of the puzzle box itself! Taking
the butterfly theme a step further, I linked the natural migratory pattern of
the monarch butterfly, which takes an annual journey in the fall from Eastern North
America down to the Sierra Madre Mountains of Mexico, to the cocktail. Full credit for that convoluted concept goes
to my own pairing, my wife! Cheers!
